About the Item

Acrylic on canvas Richard Boigeol is a French artist born in 1959 who lives & works in Marseille, France. Since childhood, it is with papers for drawing that Richard Boigeol expresses himself best. He shapes his own world by feeding on what he sees around him. He took drawing lessons from the age of 7. At 17, he is part of a group of students working in the streets of Pompeï and Herculaneum surrounded by admirers under the benevolent supervision of his teacher. It’s the birth of his first audience. He also studied art history during his initiation trips to Italy. His style is recognizable among so many others; nothing is irreconcilable in his painting which he defines as contemporary narrative figuration. The humor full of good humor which he shows, takes on the air of children's games; everything, in his paintings and his objects, is a humorous assemblage, games of quotes and paradoxes. Of course, he is influenced by the great masters and if you take the time to look, you can find a search for new shapes and unique color combinations. For him, color is life. These dynamic and very graphic compositions are found in his advertising boards. Staging with unlikely characters and things for example, a cat and an American road sign; a clown with a fake big red nose head; a saxophonist and an African card-shaped brain; a building in the shape of a musical instrument (notice to architects !!). He tells stories of our time in images in the form of an allegory which he uses to convey messages like the famous language of the Stones under which he slides an ice cream, not without playfulness. He can use current events to create a table, as in the work "My President" collage cardboard on canvas or the poetic version of Jill & John (the yellow vests). Richard Boigeol is an artist at heart; music plays a central role in his life as in his work; he plays the piano and there are many appearances of instruments in his paintings. He was contacted by Laurie Verchomin, the wife of the great American pianist Bill Evans, to illustrate his book "The Big Love". These works mark the mind like children's drawings.

"Ribbon" Extra-Large Contemporary Landscape Painting By American Martin Hoffman
By Martin Hoffman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
Introducing "Ribbon," an extraordinary painting from the "Jersey Meadow Series" by Martin Hoffman in the 1970s. From the 1970s onwards, Hoffman's career showcased a masterful combination of beautiful painting techniques and challenging subject matter. This contemporary painting depicts an abandoned landscape with a hypnotic blue plastic ribbon at its center. Hoffman's landscape creates an almost mesmerizing effect, where the subject matter of destruction and decay is presented poetically. The warm shades of grey with hints of blue, brown, and purple create a limited yet powerful palette that enhances the melancholic beauty of the painting. The painting measures 151cm x 202cm / 59.5in x 79.5in and is signed 'Martin Hoffman' on the reverse side of the canvas. It is titled 'Ribbon' and is dated '73.' Additionally, the artist specifies that the painting is part of the 'Jersey Meadow Series.' It is ready to hang and comes with a silver-painted frame. The condition of the painting is great, with hardly any signs of wear. The frame has a few scratches but is otherwise in good condition. Artist Bio: Martin Hoffman was a versatile artist and illustrator, mostly known for his paintings. He was a self-taught painter and a gifted drummer who had worked as an art director for the Miami News, Graphic Arts Inc., and Steiner & Wall Advertising. In 1973, Martin Hoffman landed his first solo exhibition at the OK Harris...
